Re: SOME Dangerous White Women: Lies Send Black men to Jail
Some still are dark skinned. Hitler killed them along with the Jews but that never get much feature. As a matter of fact the American model of dealing with blacks is mirrored in Europe.

<span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Study examines role of stereotypes in identifying criminal suspects - noteworthy News</span></span>
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.
Research by a Penn State media studies expert reveals that memory of crime stories with the suspects' pictures reflects racial stereotypes, and African Americans are especially likely to be mistakenly identified for perpetrators of violent crimes, an issue being discussed nationally by community and law enforcement groups.
"When readers were asked to identify criminal suspects pictured in stories about violent crimes, they were more prone to misidentify African American than White suspects. The same readers, to a far lesser degree, tended to link White offenders more with nonviolent crime," says Dr. Mary Beth Oliver, associate professor of communications and co-director of the Media Effects Laboratory at Penn State University.
The study indicated also that self-reported racial attitudes, no matter how prejudiced or enlightened, had no impact on participants' ability to correctly identify the race of a criminal suspect. This suggests that Whites may not realize the degree to which deeply imbedded stereotypes tamper with their memories.

Re: SOME Dangerous White Women: Lies Send Black men to Jail
I’ve seen this story reported on several fronts over the years.
Once in the LA Times several years ago, Frontline, on 60 Minutes last week and also at a conference I attended in 2003. This is an internationally known case – and it’s textbook teaching, literally, among forensics and forensic circles.
In all 3 versions, I found the reporting consistent.
What’s most amazing – and wonderful here – is that they are more than just ‘friends’.
The 2 work together as advocates in the judicial system and travel the country talking to law enforcement and law students. They are and have been in demand for a good number of years now.
They speak about their case in an effort to teach law enforcement as well as the layman, the fallacy of of eyewitness testimony. They educate people about their case not just from a racial stand point, but also from a legal front – the unreliable eyewitness, visual memory and law enforcement training. They’ve also written a book together.
